the keywords ambatchdotcom seocontest are spammed all throughout the headings, body and links for relevance bonus. Ok, not quite spammed, but borderline

many of the sites are blogs for the frequently updated bonus

urls, particularly domainnames, contain the keywords for relevance bonus (like the guy with his blog at http://ambatchdotcom- seocontest.com/ambatchdotcom-seocontest with a wordpress userid of ambatchdotcom-seocontest)

domainnames registered years ago are being used to avoid the sandbox effect

what many believe is the real winner: external links, hundreds of them, from well ranked sites

meta tags

… and finally, I believe there’s even a semantic html site in there. I’ll be watching that one.

So, is it really a worthwhile educational contest as ambatchdotcom would have us believe? Well, I’m not convinced. Most of the above is well known, white hat, good seo practice. I believe that once you have the basics covered that there’s not much more you can do. Unless, of course, you’re morally flexible, and willing to go the black-hat route.

Is this an ambatchdotcom seocontest entry?

So, you ask, what about this post? No, I am not entering the seocontest. However, for a mere 5 euro donation to my paypal account I will give you a live external link to your ambatchdotcom seocontest page from this blog entry with the relevant keywords. What a great deal! For a larger amount I will also be happy to link to you from elsewhere – post a comment below.
